Mo Spe cial) A proposal to merge the American Hereford Association and the American Polled Here ford Association into one or ganization has been submitted by members of the Board of Direc tors of the American Hereford Association. „ The proposal was submitted by the Board of Directors of the American Hereford Association to R E. Lambert of Darlington, Ala, president of the American Polled Hereford Association. The American Hereford As sociation proposes that the merged organization be known as the American Hereford As sociation with offices in the headquarters building of the Association. In the letter of transmittal, the American Hereford Associa tion directors pointed out - “It is the earnest belief of the directors of this Asso ciation that the adoption of this proposal will become one of the most beneficial, progressive accomplishments in the history of the Here ford breed.” Currently the American Here ford Association registers both polled and horned' Herefords with proper designations between the two. The American Polled Hereford Association registers polled Herefords without the re quuements of prior registration in the American Hereford Asso ciation The American Polled Hereford Association also ac cepts for registry horned Here fords with polled ancestry. The proposal points out, “It is evident, therefore, that Hereford breeders are main taining two Hereford associi* tions, both performing dupli cate functions in registrations and transfers. 1 ’ “At the recent World Hereford Conference, delegates from each country that now records Here fords voted unanimously to ac cept no imported Hereford for registration in 'the herd book of the respective countries from the United States that is not regis tered in the American Hereford Association.” Printed copies of the merger proposal may be secured by writing the American Hereford Association. Hereford Drive Kan- Lancaster Farming, Friday, Nov. 23, 1956—11 Production of Milk Takes Big Decline in State HARRISBURG The sharpest October decline in milk pi educ tion on Pennsylvania farms since 1952 was reported today by the State Department of Agucul ture. Milk output foi this October came to 506 million pounds, the same as October of last year, but only because of slightly highei numbers of cows in the milking line, according to Pennsylvania Crop Reporting Seivice surveys For 25 consecutive months milk production in Pennsyl vania, up to this October, had set a new record for each cor responding month in previous years. The chain was broken when last month’s output equalled but failed to suipass the October record set last year. Average daily production last month was down about 5 per cent from the 516 million pounds in September. The more than seasonal drop was attributed to a decline m pastuies which on October 1 were meeting 49 per cent of total feed requu'ements and on November 1 weie supply ing only 26 per cent of require ments Dairymen were feeding more concentrates than in Sep tember. Many dairymen, especially in western Pennsylvania, are fac ing a winter feeding problem, the Department said. Supply of hay is short on many farms and quality is the poorest in years. Rainy weather prevail ed until October and much hay and grain was lost in the fields and quality of crops that could be harvested was low ered. Cow numbers for October were estimated at 946,000, the same as in September, but 3,000 above the estimate for October last year. Sales of herds and surplus cows, primarily in the western counties, were offset by the gen eral trend toward larger herds. Pennsylvania milk production for the first ten months of this year totals 5,600,000,000 lbs or four per cent above the 5,401,- 000,000 lbs for the same peuod last year.
